TRE® Workshop

Tension-Releasing-Exercise® (TRE®) is a series of physical exercises that aims to release the tension in the body caused by stress and trauma through a natural neurogenic tremor process.

In the event of a dangerous situation, i.e. an experience that is potentially traumatising or exceeds coping mechanisms, energy and tension-generating chemicals are released to protect the body by tensing various muscle groups and preparing it for one of three emergency responses: Fight, Flight or Freeze. Shaking is a natural mechanism of the body to release the strong tension and excess energy generated in the organism in a dangerous situation. By shaking, the body returns to a state of calm and balance.

Often chemical substances cannot be used up because we rarely flee or fight in today’s stressful situations (e.g. conflict, road traffic, etc.). As a result, the organism remains in a feedback loop and uses the substances to contract muscles to hold the excess charge and release it later. If these muscles do not get the opportunity to do this, a chronic state of tension develops. If the body remains in a state of danger like this, many bodily functions are suppressed (e.g. immune function, cell renewal, etc.).

The state of tension in the muscles sends a signal to the brain that the danger is not yet over, which keeps the body in a state of danger. Through the communication between body and brain, the person remains in a state of protection and defence psychologically as well, which suppresses growth, development and learning.

The excess tension in the body can be released through the TRE® exercises by eliciting the body’s involuntary movements through targeted pre-fatigue.
